posting this on here so I get differing opinions.
Why don't some of the lower league teams combine? get rid of the ridiculous amount of clubs in such a small country, have 2 pro leagues of 14,16 or whatever . Surely financially it would make so much sense. more fans for them too.
I'm imagining greed and pride stops this from happening, but surely it's not just me that see's this is common sense now?

There is 46 teams in Scotland leagues. Make 2 leagues of 23. Bottom 6 are in fight mode to the top 6 from second league. All be it one would be definite religated and one champion. The other 5 from both leagues fight their place to move into promotion or keep there place.
Top league one gets religated.
Top league the other 5 play a oone of game against each other. Bottom 2 of that small league then would play the top two from league 2. With the champions being promoted.
All be it 90% of the time top league tes would stay in. But makes it more competitive.

I fully agree Gersdaft. I have struggled for years to understand why there are teams that struggle to muster two or three Home Supporters are so hell bent on keeping their identity when they are consistently fighting to avoid relegation or worse. Unfortunately Chairmen that are more interested in themselves and in some cases their seats on the SPFL Board that they refuse to realise that merger would be more financially logical and give them a better chance of success. Alloa is a prime example of a Chairman that would rather struggle in front of 200 supporters on a good day than consider merging with teams like Stirling Albion as an example. There are probably Junior Teams that can muster a bigger support.

6 teams from the bottom of league 1. One religated. Leaves 5. Small playoff. Bottom 2 are in religation zone.
League 2. Top 6. One is promoted. Other 5 playoff top 2 in promotion zone.

Great work, fifaguy. Just a shame there are only 42 teams in Scotland, so it was all for nothing.

Hi Paulellen, by Elsa, do you mean they're Lion, lol, honestly, no bigger league will be approved, as it would mean less money for the bigger teams.
